• Mild: Patients with Alzheimer's may show physiological changes in the brain 10- 20 years prior to showing any symptoms. Shrinkage of the amygdala brings about symptoms of emotional outbursts and mood changes (Purohit et al, 1998)
• Moderate: Memory loss at this stage advances to confusion of location in familiar places and poor judgement, mood changes, increased anxiety and language impairment (Hippius, 2013).
• Severe: Plaques and tangles become widespread, memory loss advances to severe dementia and atrophy of other brain regions leads to progressive loss of autonomic functions (Hippius, 2013).
